Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Just as Liu Jie was a few feet away from the skeletal remains of the enlightened monk.

A golden light suddenly shone from the skeletal figure, upon seeing this, Liu Jie continuously backed away.

“Fear not, young ones!” A kind-hearted old monk appeared in front of Jiang Yuan and his companions.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan immediately felt a sense of caution well up inside him.

The remaining consciousness in him clearly had some autonomy and should not be taken lightly.

He quickly took several steps backwards, greeted, “Greetings, senior!”

The old monk with a kindly smile nodded: “I have an ungrateful request, I hope the three of you can comply!”

“Just say it, as long as we can do it, we will certainly try our best!” Jiang Yuan said.

The monk nodded satisfactorily: “Please, benefactors, bring my relics back to Lankesh Temple after my passing, so that my soul can return to its former home!”

“As for the reward!” He paused, then continued: “After I returned from Minor Thunder Temple, I was pursued by a demonic cultivator on the way. I narrowly escaped from him with all my might.”

“Fortunately, you found the token that I threw away before my death, otherwise my remains would have been swept away into endless spatial turbulence with the collapse of this small space.”

“I didn’t leave behind any wealth.”

“The Bodhi fruit I left behind, the Boundary Stone above your heads, and the spiritual vein generated by my death, consider them as my parting gift!”

Jiang Yuan quickly nodded and said, “It’s a small effort. We will surely deliver the senior’s relics back to Lankesh Temple when we have the time.”

The old monk, hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, nodded satisfactorily.

He reminded again, “The space here was hastily opened by me, and it has been somewhat unstable now. You can cultivate here for a while, but don’t think about mining, even with the Boundary Stone it will cause this small space to collapse directly.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan was startled.

He had just considered mining the spiritual stones on both sides.

Because as far as he could see, its value was above ten thousand inferior-quality spiritual stones, let alone this was just the outer layer.

Now listening to the old monk’s reminder, he realized how dangerous his idea was.

“Thank you for your reminder, senior!” Jiang Yuan said.

Liu Jie and Liu Rushi also quickly paid their respects.

The old monk nodded satisfyingly, then this last bit of divine consciousness completely disappeared.

It was only then that Jiang Yuan realized, in his skeletal body, there was a golden relic.

Liu Jie shook his head and said, “What a pity, such relics of an enlightened monk, carrying them with us can clear the mind and increase enlightenment, but we have to give it away!”

Jiang Yuan smiled, “With Bodhi fruits and other gains, it’s still worthwhile!”

Jiang Yuan came before the heap of skeletal remains; his eyes focussed on the relic in the bones.

Inside the relic was clearly visible to him. Seeing no remaining power inside, Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, picking up the relic he said, “Senior, rest assured, as I have accepted this karma, I will surely take You to Lankesh Temple.”

After saying this, he then carefully stored it in his storage ring.

Liu Jie came over excitedly, “Brother Jiang, it’s time to distribute the gains.”

“I will follow Brother Liu’s arrangements!” Jiang Yuan said confidently.

The last time Liu Jie bet on him to win and then gave him half of the spiritual stones,

were enough to show that Liu Jie is a man of great generosity.

With all that had happened before, Jiang Yuan naturally trusted Liu Jie’s arrangement.

And for him, the most precious thing here was not the Boundary Stone and Bodhi fruits.

But the spiritual vein that was generated due to the passing of the cultivator.

The opportunity from the Place of Meditation can hardly be found once in a lifetime.

Because every cultivator at the Divine Bridge Realm has a lifespan of at least three hundred years.

Only those who reached the Divine Bridge Realm and above, who could seize the spirit of heaven and earth and harbor a small universe within, could leave behind such opportunities after their passing.

Not to mention that this was an enlightened monk at the Dharma Realm, which was even harder to find.

Training here would allow the opening of spiritual veins faster than a mid-level Spirit Gathering Array, and it might even be incomparable to a high-level one.

The spiritual energy in the vein, which is the result of liquefaction and solidification, would not be as violent as the external spiritual energy.

It would be much simpler to refine.

Jiang Yuan was confident that he could break through several realms in a short time.

He was even more confident that he would have enough strength to protect himself for the event of the Imperial Family’s deface of the temple and the Horse Trampling Sect happening three years from now.

Perhaps, he could even repay the Supreme Mystery Sect for their kindness to him.

Liu Jie said, “Since Brother Jiang trusts me so much, then I’ll arrange it. Among the five Bodhi fruits, Liu Rushi and I will each have one, and the remaining three will belong to Brother Jiang.”

Seeing the surprised look in Jiang Yuan’s eyes, he explained, “Without Brother Jiang, Liu Rushi and I would have died in the wilderness, and we would not have survived to be here.”

Liu Rushi also nodded in agreement, “What Senior Brother Liu said makes sense, the graciousness of life-saving is greater than everything.”

Liu Jie looked at the Boundary Stone above his head and was silent for a moment,

then he sighed, “To tell the truth, I was very tempted by the Boundary Stone because it’s too valuable.”

“However, given Brother Jiang’s life-saving grace, I can’t ask for it!”

Jiang Yuan said, “Senior Brother Liu….”

Before he could finish his sentence, Liu Jie interrupted him,

“Brother Jiang, please listen to me first! A treasure like the Boundary Stone contains the mystery of spatial rules, one can comprehend the spatial rules. It’s irreplaceable.”

“As long as you can comprehend a bit of the true meaning of space, you would benefit for a lifetime! Besides, this object has the effect of stabilizing the space!”
